Filipinos in Japan are alleged to be exploited while their employers are committing several violations of the established contracts both parties entered into before one departs to the “land of the rising sun," according to an overseas Filipino worker from one of the towns in Negros Oriental.
The OFW, who refused to be named for fear of reprisal from her local recruiter, recently arrived from Japan. She works as an entertainer in Japan on a six-month contract and renewable for another six months.
She said
her local recruiter, who also lives in the same town, offers her a hefty US$16,000 every month supposedly to work in one of the restaurants in Japan.
She had then processed her papers and left for Japan in January 2005 but when she arrived there, she was surprised since instead of working in a restaurant, she ended up working as an entertainer in one of the nightclubs in Japan.
“ (
Wala na kay mahimo pag-abot nimo didto kay giembargo na man ang imong mga papeles ug ubang mga kagamitanyou can’t do anything because all our documents are already confiscated by them)," the Negrense OFW revealed.
She lamented that they were made to work more than eight hours and that even if they feel ill, they were
forced to do dancing and gyrating with customers at the nightclub.
